Comments
This recipe is from How Sweet it Is and it’s  super simple!  Tilapia is a fish I’d never had until recently and I find myself loving how simple it is to prepare.  It’s a very moist fish that lends itself to a wide variety of flavors.  This recipe is great for a busy night and works well with a strongly flavored side to contrast with the mild flavors of the fish.
